This movie is something special

Rating: 10/10 (5 October 2006)

I have written a number of reviews of movies. Some I loved, and I was able to tell you why. Some I hated, and it was a simple matter to explain what was wrong. But this movie grabbed me and would not let go. I loved the main character (1900), and felt I knew him, but never felt I understood him or what made him . It had beautiful characters, elegant and inspiring music, and a story that was a psychological and musical thriller. Woody Allen would call it weird city, but it might as well have been written by him. It has the same melancholy tint and strange attitudes that make a Woody Allen film a classic. But to me this was better than all but a few of his movies.
So all I ask is that you give this movie a chance. I cannot tell you why you should, but this is a story that could only be told in a movie. A book would fail completely. It is not the story. It is not the music, but the music is beautiful. It is the whole package.
